Cantonese Steamed Chicken & Chinese sausage... my NEW fav Chinese chicken recipe | Marion’s Kitchen

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces sodium intake.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: olive oil

Avocado oil provides a neutral flavor and is healthier.

whole chicken

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Chicken thighs are cheaper and still flavorful.

ginger

💰Cheaper: ground ginger

Ground ginger is a cost-effective alternative.

Marinate chicken thighs with shaoxing wine, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, and corn flour. Mix well and set aside.

Prepare a makeshift steamer using a wide pan and a coil of foil to create a trivet.

Add water to the pan, about halfway up the foil, and heat it up.

Place the marinated chicken on a smaller plate, sprinkle with ginger, Chinese sausage, and spring onion.

Once the water is steaming, carefully place the plate with chicken into the steamer and cover with a lid.

Steam the chicken for 12 minutes until cooked through.

Remove the plate carefully using a tea towel, as it will be hot.

Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the chicken before serving.
